I have taken Harv's courses and now volunteer my time each summer to help facilitate the events. This course and all his others
are transformational! I keep going back to see the magic work in other people's lives. This is an opportunity
not to be missed. Act now and get yourself and a family member into this course for free.

Burning fat is extremely hard to do. It requires a lot of energy
as fat is very hard to break down. Your body would rather use
muscle for it's energy requirements.
Secondly, the digestion of food is the most energy consuming thing
the body does.

Specific Fat Burning Tips

Dairy Products

The best tip I can give is to eliminate Dairy products from your diet. Even if you don't do it
for a long period, you can greatly reduce the amount of fat in your diet simply by doing this. The Dairy
industry tells us that you can by milk in a low fat version (1%). The thing is that this is a trick.
Milk is advertised as 1% (or whatever) by volume. That is true. But, it is 70% fat by calories! It is mostly
water, so it is low fat by volume. It is High fat by calories. If you eliminate or greatly reduce Dairy products, you can quickly reduce fat!
Dairy products are also very mucous forming in the body. This
mucous slows down digestion and elimination.

There are a lot more reasons not to drink your milk, or eat dairy products.

The animals need antibiotics to keep them well. The antibiotics are transfered to us through the milk.

Milk is then pasteurized so any enzymes are destroyed.

Synthetic Vitamin D is toxic to the liver.

FDA has approved the use of BGH (Bovine Growth Hormone) by dairy farmers to increase their milk production.

Essential Fatty Acids

There is good fat! Flax Seed oil is rich in Omega 3 fatty acids. It is known to reduce
cholesterol and play a part in burning fat. It is also an important part
of a health diet. It improves immune system functioning, strengthens the heart and plays a part in the building of hair, fingernails and skin.

From Udo Erasmus's website:

Weight reduction

EFAs ability to
increase metabolic rate helps us burn more calories. Instead of being used as
fuel, they are converted into hormone-like prostaglandins. These fats keep us
slim! EFAs help our kidneys dump excess water in tissues, which constitutes
significant extra weight in some people. Cravings which result from not getting
the nutrients we need, subside. EFAs satisfy that craving.

In fact, EFAs
are exceptionally good at satisfying hunger. EFAs elevate mood and lift
depression-a reason why some people overeat. Elevated mood and increased energy
levels make us feel like being active.

Here's a key point on fats and body fats.

The commonly held belief
that fats make you fat is completely wrong. Those who are seriously overweight
are almost always fat-phobic carbohydrate junkies. They avoid fats, develop food
cravings, and eat sweet and starchy foods. The body does not need the
carbohydrate fuel that sweets and starches provide. The body turns into fat all
carbohydrates that are not burned for energy.

It is not easy to convince
people who want to lose weight to eat more fat. But consider this. In the last
10 years, our intake of fats has decreased from 42% of calories to 35%. This in
response to national dietary goals set by experts who operate on only half of
the story on fats. It is clearly the wrong advice to give, because in those same
10 years, obesity has gone up, from 20% of the population to 33%. What does that
tell you? It's common sense!.

Eating less fat
is making us fat. We should be eating more fat. But remember, it should be
the right kind of fat. Not the processed fats, but the essential ones.

I use 4 to 5 tablespoons of EFA's per day, more in the winter. I have been for over 10 years now.

Decrease the amount of dead food

Get rid of anything in your diet that is non-nourishing.
Mayonnaise and other condiments, salt, vinegar, white flour products and
canned foods. This is a tall order. Start by cutting back on
the amounts and eliminating those that you can. Realize that when
you do eat them, they have no nutritional value and will slow your fat
loss goals.

Raw Foods

Increase the amount of whole live foods in your diet. Start adding
a meal of fruit or a meal of raw vegetables. I would like to note the
following here and now:

The principle of proper fruit consumption

Fruit by itself requires
no digestion. It must be eaten on an empty stomach and
given 20 minutes to an hour by itself to simply slide through
the stomach. It immediately starts to provide nutrients as
long as it is un-impeded by other solid foods. Adding
fruit to a stomach with food in it causes it to sit on top,
ferment and be very bad for you. Always drink a glass of
water before eating fruit and an hour after to rinse the stomach
of any traces of the fruit. Different fruits have
different rates of digestion with bananas being the longest at
about 45 minutes to an hour.

I found that when I learned this about fruit, I was finally able to
eat strawberries again. I used to get hives when I ate them, but by eating them
properly, had no problems. This rule of proper fruit consumption is from
the theory of natural hygiene which you could read about in many locations.

Whole Food Enzymes

Raw foods are more alive enzymaticly (if that's a word). Enzymes are
heat sensitive. By processing foods, the enzymes are heated to
extreme temperatures and are killed. This allows canned food to
keep for years, but does us no good. The fiber in the raw foods
also help to move the wastes out of our bodies. You may find that
if you immediately increase the raw foods, you may become constipated or
get the runs. Think of this as your body responding to changes and
be happy with it. It is temporary and a good thing (in the long
run). If it is too uncomfortable, start to drink hot water by
itself to aid in moving things along. A cup of hot water in the
morning signals the colon to move. Try it sometime! Here
is a great article about what to expect when adding whole foods to
your diet.

Another benefit of the raw food meals is that there is no fat
in them. By having these meals of raw fruit and veggies, you have
eliminated the room for fatty meals. "Two birds with one
stone" comes to mind.

Water

As I say on the muscle building page, "Water is your
life, the better your water, the better your life!". I read
once that a body that is 5% low on water is 25% low on energy
levels. Your body will be extremely low on water before it signals
you of thirst. Keep your water levels maintained. Water is
also used in ridding the body of waste. By having a cleaner body
internally, digestion improves, energy levels increase and fat loss can
continue.

Caution: For the longest time, I promoted and recommended distilled water as the answer to "the best water" source. I no
longer believe this. New research suggests that distilled water is acidic and throws your alkalinity balance off. Our body wants and needs
to be alkaline. For this reason I no longer drink or recommend distilled water. Read
the article on it as well as how and why an alkaline diet is best.

Salt

A quick word about salt. Too much salt causes you to
retain water. I'm sure you've heard that expression before.
Do you know what it means? When the blood is moving through your
veins, carrying nutrients to the cells, those nutrients must pass
through the cell wall by osmosis. Salt stops that process.
Nutrients can't get in and wastes can't get out. Water is
retained, waste is retained. Ease up on the salt!
Eliminating salt was the first thing on my list of new years resolutions
in 1990!

Fried Foods

I have nothing good to say about fried foods. How high
can you count? That's how much fat is in it. And what do you need
it for anyway. By getting rid of fried foods, you eliminated
an enormous amount of fat, fibreless food and a lot of salt. Fried food
elimination was high on my list of things to stop eating back in
1990. Read "The Road Down
From 475" for more about this.

Burn the Fat, Feed the Muscle

Of all the information I have learned over the years on my quest to lower
my body fat and improve my lean muscle tissue, through training, diet, nutrition and
mindset, the single best thing I have learned and adopted is Tom Venuto's strategies outlined
in his book "Burn the fat, Feed the Muscle".
